Yawcam

Initial tests were a result of lockups overnight. Sorry, I get what you're asking, but I no longer have those images. They were dark, and I was suspecting maybe too dark/still for the detection software. There have been cases where the software has locked up with lit images, and so I think the dark ...

Preview window was open and device error enabled. It made it past the previous ~1:30AM, but then locked up just before 3AM.

Last image uploaded was not black (see attached). Also attached debug log as requested.

I will try to post log file tomorrow.

Camera is a generic web cam. Nexxtech model 2516523E

Well, I checked on it this morning, and it died shortly after I turn the light off last night. (Preview was open and black. When I tried to redetect the camera, the preview changed to a device not attached message, and then the main window stopped responding. Had to kill the Java process). I restart...

Well, it locks up at night, and unless the kids are up and around, the target area is quite dark - effectively black.

I have re-enabled the device monitor, and opened the preview window. I uploaded the current log file as it was with the device monitor disabled since this morning.

It ran fine for long time, so I tried turning on the device monitoring.

Within an hour or so of re-enabling the "Enable device error monitor" it locked up and required a taskmanager kill to go away.

Running again without error monitoring.

Well, it kept running through the night - will see how long it keeps going!

Attached is a zip of 4 debug files. 3 ended between 01:30 & 01:45 and one at 21:37.

I have another debug session running right now - as noted in a related post I have (without restarting) turned off the device monitor.

I'm grabbing a frame once / minute (and ftp'ing to my site).

I'm running Win7, and I have Yawcam configured to grab an image and ftp to a site every minute. Very consistently, around 1:30AM it stops responding. The console seems responsive (I can open different menus, etc), however, the preview is black. If I disconnect the camera, it notes the lack of camera...
